Sophie Lin's five-year plan did not include developing a soul-crushingly intense, HR-nightmare-inducing obsession with her boss, the impeccably glacial Miranda Wolfe. Honestly, her main goal was to figure out the office coffee machine without causing a small flood. Spoiler: she's still working on that.
While Sophie should be focusing on spreadsheets, her brain is busy staging X-rated musicals starring Miranda, complete with dramatic desk slides and probably illegal uses of office supplies. It's a problem. Especially since she once actually called her "Mistress" Wolfe. In a meeting. With witnesses. The therapy bills are pending.
Just when Sophie resigns herself to a life of internal screaming and carefully curated business casual, the universe decides to send in the cavalry - a bizarrely charming squad of women who seem to think her awkward fumbling is... endearing? Suddenly, Sophie's getting an unscheduled, hands-on (sometimes literally) education in everything from dirty talk (which she's terrible at) to lingerie (which is surprisingly complicated).
Each lesson is a masterclass in mortification, mild public indecency, and the occasional moment of accidental grace. But even as she stumbles her way towards something resembling confidence (and maybe a better understanding of thongs), her thoughts inevitably drift back to Miranda - the ice queen who probably thinks Sophie's one stapler short of a complete office meltdown.
Can this queen of cringe somehow woo the woman of her wildest, most inappropriate daydreams? Or is she destined to be the cautionary tale they whisper about at the water cooler?
Warning: May cause spontaneous blushing, secondhand embarrassment, and an inexplicable urge to re-evaluate your own office crushes. You've been warned. (P.S. Don't tell HR.)
